A: I appreciate your interest in my work. My policy is to only donate items, money or services to select local non-profit organizations. You’re more than welcome to purchase one of my paintings, and donate it to the charity of your choice.

Q: I’d like to purchase a painting. Can I send you a personal check?

A: I accept Paypal only. No checks. No money orders. You may pay with your Paypal balance or use your credit or debit card.

Q: I don’t like Etsy. Can I buy paintings directly through you?

A: Absolutely! Contact me with the title(s) of the painting(s), and I’ll invoice you through Paypal.

Q: To save shipping charges can I pick a painting up at your studio or will you ship through my personal shipping agent?

A: For security reasons, I don’t allow artwork to be picked up at my studio or use third party shipping companies.

Q: Can I order a custom or commissioned painting?

A: It depends on how busy my schedule is at the moment. November thru February are my busiest months, so I sometimes stop taking commissions during that time, but not always. Your best bet is to contact me.

Q: Do you require a deposit for custom or commissioned work?

A: Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required, and a contract must be signed before I start working. The amount of the deposit depends on the total amount of your painting, but it’s generally around 30% of the total, which allows me to purchase all the art supplies needed to start.

Q: Do you teach online art classes?

A: At this time I do not teach any classes. You’re more than welcome to watch my Youtube videos to get an idea of how I paint, tho.

Q: Are you interested in having your artwork published in my book, blog, website, magazine, or can I use your work for cover art?

A: Absolutely! If you think my artwork matches the style you’re looking for, I would love to work with you. Please contact me with as much information as you possibly can, and please include a timeframe.

A: I get this question almost daily. Please try to understand I’m a busy working artist, not a business coach. If I took time out of my day to answer everyone’s questions, I would be neglecting my own work and deadlines. Therefore, it’s my policy not to discuss business with anyone, including close friends. Thank you for understanding.

Above all else, it is about leaving a mark that I existed: I was here. I was hungry. I was defeated. I was happy. I was sad. I was in love. I was afraid. I was hopeful. I had an idea and I had a good purpose and that’s why I made works of art. – Felix Gonzalez-Torres
